Green Mock has us landing big DT on the third, win:win for my money.

Since last season, I figured SS would eventually want out. He has had 2 years in his prime taken from him. The frustration must be tremendous. When I heard he had a closed door session with the man, I knew exactly what it was about.

This would be a bigger story, but it makes no sense talking it up now. As soon as a CBA is announced, SS will demand a trade. From Rivera's comments, I think he knows it too.

Common logic says bring in a veteran to replace him, and we should. However, they are usually overpriced. I do not see a veteran #1 who will be there as an UFA.

If we draft a DT, CB, or DE in the first round, we are not going after a QB. Chances are we are going to bring in a veteran to compete Clausen, and continue to develop JC.

So how do you improve the worst offense in the NFL if you don't upgrade QB? You build the cast around the QB. What player in the draft makes the QB better? There is only 1, maybe 2. AJ Green and Kyle Rudolph. Since we will not take Rudolph early, Green is the only option.

The draft looks deep at defensive line so they should be able to address DT without going all in on Fairley. Even going QB first reciever/cb 3rd they could still probably get Marvin Austin with the comp pick or in the 4th. I think it depends on whose available. Ive seen some mocks with Stephen Paea still there at 65 and that dudes a beast.

To me I think with the first pick it comes down to QB or Green, and I really don't see a receiver going one. Megatron didn't go one and Green is no CJ.

    • I'm going to humor you in case you're actually being sincere and are just ignorant. Also, you're not very good at tossing barbs. Please stop.  I did not say random; I said arbitrary. That is a much different thing.  You're comparing QBR in starts across multiple coaching staffs, seasons, offensive personnel, against defenses with wildly variable of levels of competency, and don't really have a lot of data points. Choosing the dividing line at pre and post benching is arbitrary, and it's not even consistent. He was benched in his first season too. Why not when Reich was fired? Or when Canales was hired? Or when they drafted XL?  Also, what are potential lurking variables here? I would if I was grading this tell you that you're not really showing anything useful. If your argument is that his QBR has trended up on a per game average from "this point" on then congrats yes you're correct. This is called cherry picking data.  I understand you're trying to make this quick and dirty, but QB rating by itself doesn't really paint a useful picture. A simple thing you could do it do a second line along the same time domains of what the defense ranked league wide at the time they played each other. I would try to use a cumulative stat from the same source, tho. So qb rating v scoring defense across these specific truncated set of games that have occurred across three seasons with multiple coaching staff.  Some other suggestions for you  1. This is the wrong type of graph. You want a scatter point.  2. The range for QB rating improvement is like 15 points or whatever. The y axis is broken up into 25s. How can I quantify the line?  3. Quarterback rating goes to 158.3. Why does your line only go to 125?  The only thing I would really take from this is that Bryce Young sucks in a way that QB rating doesn't pick up on. This is what you'd call a "problem with the data."  Lastly, I would point out that QB rating as a formula was finalized in 1973. Offenses were so anemic back then it's referred to as the "dead ball era." Maybe not the best metric to measure QB success half a century later. like buddy i've taken masters level data science courses, and believe me I've done some shitty fuging work. my masters thesis ended up being about why my method of data collection didn't work well enough for me to defend my thesis. I wrote 100 pages just kinda shrugging and saying "Well ya know covid is so challenging etc."  You're trying to tell people their eyes are lying to them and are posting a very bad graph to do so. Don't be upset when people not only argue with you but point out how bad your graph is.
